New Feature Site Bookmarks
- By ben
Just a little one here, but I think it's very useful

Welcome to FIAT Forum v3!

Yes, let's call it v3 as back in 2012 we had v2 - and yes, it's been that long since any major update!

Doesn't work on mobile (yet)...

Updated the chat system to run a lot more smoothly.

Do you wanna be in our gang?
- By ben
Well, believe it or not, I think I've finally found a good use for the social groups!
